Paranoia: You can have more than one diagnosis by the same mental health professional. For instance you could be both paranoid and suffering from psychosis. If you are doubtful obtain a second opinion from another licesned mental healthh professional. Best wishes.

Paranoid?: Possible, depending on the presenting symptoms, however, what is more important than diagnostic labels is how u r coping with your illness or issues.
